Application filed May 16, 1914. Serial No. 888,921.

may concern :12, Fans A. RICHARDSON Jenn J. Suriname, citizens of theUnited States, residing at Denver, in the and county of Denver and Stateof t lolorado, have in ented certain new and useful lrnpro -ants inHydrocarbon-Oil Burners, of which the following is'a specification.

(Eur invention relates to an improvement in hydro-carbon oil burningdevices adapted to burn kerosene or coal oil, or the various grades ofhydrocarbon oils.

Theobject to so construct and arrange the fuel delivery to the pipe thatas the fuel is burned, the productsof combustion will heat andsuper-heat the oil to generate the gas.

The invention relates to still other novel features of construction andcombinations of parts which will be hereinafter more fully described andpointed out in the claims,

in the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a view in elevation of theinvention; Fig. 2 is a view in elevation of three forms of burners; Fig.3 is a top plan view of the invention.

The numerals 1 and 2 represent the two 1:" s which are formed from thetermithe fuel supply pipes and made in of coils, the ends of the coilsor ii burners 1 and. 2 being closed by d respectively.

hens th the burners is a pan or rich i preferably made of sheet somemetal substance, preferably fiber asbestos and metal or covered withlayor of magnesia.

Drip cups 1'? and 16 are st-atiouarily mounted on the pan? and locatedbeneath the burners 1 an These cups protrude e vv the lower side of thepan 7, and each 1r 1? rotatably mounted on its iOT- PI' protrudingportion. These collars are provided with openings or slots 19, which areadapted to register with openings or slots in the cups 16 and 17.Flanges 21 and are onnected to the collars 17 at the joining edges ofthe collars, Pivotfill" connected to the flanges 21 and 22 is a levi. r20 for oscillating the collars for regulating the amount of air to beadmitted through the openings 18 and 19 into the at 5 and e, through the1" 1e burner pipes extend pan 7, and each is provided with a valve 10and 11 for controlling the flow of the fuel to each of the burners 1 and2. Pipes 1% connect the pipes 5 and 6 to a coupling 15, to which thefuel supply pipe is con nected. A needle valve 30 having an indi catorcap 31 thereon is connected to the fuel supply pipe for regulating thefuel discharged to the burners from the reservoir 29. Each of theburners l and 2 is provided with openings or notches 24 and 23respectively, through which the fuel is discharged. Connected to the oilburners at the top thereof along the right-angular portion of the pipesas at 28 and 27 are deflectors 25 and 2 In the operation of the device,the valves 10 and 11 are opened, permitting some of the fuel to enterthe cups 16 and 17, when the fuel will be ignited for the purpose ofproducing sufficient heat to volatilize the fuel passing down throughthe burners 1 and 2.

After a quantity of fuel has been discharged into the cups 16 and 17,the fuel is cut oil. The fuel in the cups is ignited, and

' after it has burned a short time, the burners will have become heated,so that the fuel in the burners will be. volatilized as it issues orpasses down through the pipes to the burners. As soon as the pipes ofthe burn ers 1 and 2 become heated, the fuel will be again turned on, sothat the fuel will issue from the burners p The flame from the burnerswill then continue to maintain the pipes in a heated condition, so thatthe fuel will be properly volutilized. A collar 17 will be oscillated bythe lever 20 for obtaining the proper size opening in each of the cupsto admit sullicient air to produce combustion.

"0 claim:

1. In'a hydrocarbon oil burning device, the combination with a coilburner having an outlet at the lower end of the coil, of a.

cup located with its bottom beneath said outlet in which the fuel maydrip, said on provided with openings beneath the fuel outlet, and meansfor controlling the adnnssion of air though said openings.

2. In a hydro-carbon oil burning device, the combination with a coilburner pipc having an outlet at the lower end of the coil, of a cuplocated with its bottom beneath said outlet, said on having openingstherein beneath the fue outlet, a collar mounted on said cup providedwith openings, adapted to register with the openings in the cup throughwhich air is admitted to the cup, and beneath the burner outlet, meansfor regulating the admission of air through the openings, and .adeflector carried by the burner pipe at the upper end of the coil fordeflecting the flame in the direction desired.

In testimony whereof, we have hereunto aflixed our signatures in thepresence of Wit- FRED A. RICHARDSON. JOHN J. SCHUSTER.
